up the affordable health care law at the center for consumer information and insurance oversight. the discussion appeared to be in reference to an october 24th story by the "new york times" titled quote, health care law fails to lower prices for rural areas, unquote, which states that while competition is intense in many populous regions, small towns have fewer carriers offering plans in the law's online exchanges. more than half or 58% of plans offered by just one or two insurance carriers and about 530 counties, only a single insurer is participating. the analysis suggests that the ambitions of the affordable care act to increase competition have unfolded unevenly at least in the early going and have not addressed many of the factors that contribute to high prices. other notes from that war room meeting describes specific problem plans, and a problem with the site that prevents certification perhaps due to a misspelling on the website. the obama administration has not yet responded to our request for comment. >>> coming up next, what happened to the cone of silence? a new book t
